a whole under his so-called twenty first century socialism policies where this is meant as a nationalization of certain industries as well as the use of venezuela's revenues from oil exports to really focus attention on some of the poorest segments of the population here at the same time venezuela is plagued with a high crime rate one of the highest in the world as well as corruption and these are just some of the issues that have been seized on by the opposition candidate and the previous he's a forty year old very wealthy businessman who criticize the country's economic policies now he's also promised to improve relations with the west now critics say and fear that he would really represent a radical shift for the country in the sense that he could impose austerity programs and possibly roll back some of those popular economic social justice missions that hugo chavez has put into place now the results of this election will be significant far beyond this country's borders we have to keep in mind that venezuela has the world's largest proven oil reserves and the winner will get to determine just how to use this multi-trillion dollar assets that the likes of the

2:12 am
in fomenting a latin american integration which essentially means the exclusion of the united states so all along the line president chavez has been defining an alternative route for latin america is sensually you have two different philosophies you have chavez for motoring social democracy in a in a generic sense of the word against a candidate who wants to go back to turn the clock back to the one nine hundred ninety s. nail liberal policies privatization primacy of your ties to the u.s. as cetra so you have a real choice and not an echo in in this election. it's been a week of unrest and dealing with clashes between police and anti-government protesters in bahrain authorities are cracking down almost daily on the opposition that's calling for more rights and an anti-discrimination on monday the country's court upheld jail terms for nine medics who helped to treat probably form

perched atop a jaw and under view from the kremlin stretches as far as the eye can see. for a city to siberia for centuries. it lost its economic importance even before it was bypassed but a chance a barren railway but the a spiritual center. scenes like these are a yearly occurrence thousands of worshippers give themselves implicit will to commemorate the baptism of jesus. in the fifteen eighty s. the russians had only just conquered siberia taking it from the muslims. surrounded by enemies the balls to be their stronghold constructed on top of the city but soon

right. from phones to. t.v. don't. welcome back you're watching r t live from moscow with me arena joshie the u.s. presidential candidate barack obama and mitt romney clashed over the economy and the role of government in their first t.v. debate this week polls showed romney overwhelmed incumbent obama commanding the ninety minute verbal duel romney said his rivals in favor of a trickle. down government while obama said romney will bring the nation back to bush era economic policies the us president has a slight edge in the polls but is vulnerable due to criticism over a weak growth on employment and health care reform american political cartoonist and author ted rall thinks that from a continuous in the same vein he could bypass the current american reader here here
2:19 am
with me so it's very hard to tell to see how mitt romney can overcome the lead in the key swing states that obama currently enjoys which considering the state of the economy over the last four years is saying something about the ineptitude of the romney campaign now that said he did outperform expectations last night and you know he is still in the game if he continues to surge and does better in the future debates it's possible that despite vote will be able to turn against obama and go for romney in a two party system that's all we really have what was very strange is how the democrats who typically identify better with the poor and the downtrodden fail to humanize their point of view you know obama talked constantly about having a different approach rather than having a different vision americans don't want a different approach they want to different vision and they want solutions mitt
2:20 am
romney talked about the people who are hurting in the midwest people who are unemployed who he met and asked for his help that's the kind of thing that obama should have done it's really politics want to one and somehow he was just really off his game. hundreds of pakistanis joined by foreign peace activists are marching through the country in protest against u.s. drone strikes the convoy led by cricket legend and opposition from man imran khan is heading to south waziristan region plagued by insurgency and most frequently targeted by american missiles this despite warnings from pakistan's taliban militants that protesters could be targeted by suicide bombers political activists and watch believes the rally has the full support of the people. of yours the grand jury go of that region has welcomed in india is the only systems that is being provided by the government which does not want to open this up to exposure because for the past five years they've been hiding the fact that zones have been

a region on the on the public front they actually deny it but on privately behind the doors with the u.s. government they actually accept the facts just in a simple attack on a silver entity and unfortunately for the past five years our government has actually bought into the american war on the american war it has now become our war and they should be should catch on all of these terrorists that are doing it but unfortunately not able do not able to handle the economic affairs of the country let alone disturb the mission that has been before and a country garden. and let's now take a look at some other stories from around the world israel's military has shot down a row now over the country's southern desert the origins of the aircraft are unknown the drone was not carrying explosives however it's really officials called the incident a potential act of terrorism in the past similar missions have been carried out by lebanese militant group hezbollah. radical islamist cleric abu

2:25 am
results suggest that their proxy could be the various in the parliamentary election something hardly any one of them we have is that it was months ago last year the ruling party is rating was at seventy percent and nobody could challenge that so confident was saakashvili that he amended the constitution granting more powers to the prime minister a position many predicted he would eventually feel himself little did he know he was digging his own hole won't he move this changes to the constitution does it count as a dream that i never see the parliament these are the majority of. it that's all that's flare however this situation did not come out of nowhere prison torture tapes released in september he'd saakashvili the hardest thousands took to the streets as allegations emerged that he personally ordered the torture and filming of these atrocities and now the president could even lose his job with a possible next prime minister really already making his intentions clear. this

man's ideology has established a climate of lines of violence and torture it will be good if he submits his resignation rather than a starting various procedures to force him to resign saakashvili did concede defeat live on air but the question remains whether he's really ready to let go of the reins it could be a dramatic change or it could be the herald of a period of infighting his admission of defeat in a sense perhaps shows that he's a wounded animal but the would be still a fear that he would use the prerogatives of the president to try to split the opposition remember it's a rather disparate group of people who have been primarily united. by stability to saakashvili it wasn't only the prison tape scandal which brought saakashvili is fortress of power down say experts corruption among the elites daunting poverty and playing hardball with russia all contributed the new ruling party says it will address these issues in the first place but as the party continues in georgia is
